You are as a tree swaying in the breeze Fragile as you brave the storm For hopes not in vain you send your pleas And pray not to come to harm Dangers everywhere, and everything you do Becomes a testament to see yourself through You’ll pay to lay down in the fires For just a chance to shout out your desires And so as the tree tries to kiss the sun, You secretly wait for the coming of night Where all the truths are allowed to run Standing on your own like a lady in white In common gardens you plant yourself Taking care with words of stealth Believing not in fading to forgotten sawdust For in someone’s mind you are gorgeous |

"You’ll pay to lay down in the fires For just a chance to shout out your desires" Beautiful work. You're a very talented writer. |

Wow...thank you Kaoru. That really means a lot coming from someone of your talent. This one was buried below the first page too. Thanks. |

OMgosh...this is so in tune with what I wrote in Tanka after so much destruction and onslaught of weatherly conditions... yet it hits the human import and life as well ... inside. Well done, Sir. I've been away awhile... I hope to visit more often in the next few years.  |

"And so as the tree tries to kiss the sun, You secretly wait for the coming of night Where all the truths are allowed to run Standing on your own like a lady in white In common gardens you plant yourself" These words were my favorite out of this interesting piece from your pen....it is most always difficult for me to determine what goes through the mind of a poet..but this was truly enjoyable...peaceseaker |
